Preparation

A. Choose V-nail type, size and quality

1. V-nail Type

a. Hard Wood Nails - Used for very hard woods

like oak and maple. Do not use on soft

woods.

b. Soft Wood Nails - Used specifically for soft

woods but can be used on hard woods.

2. V-nail Size

a. Choose a size nail that is at least 1/2 the

moulding thickness.

3. Quality

a. Use at least two V-nails per joint.

1/4" to 1 3/4" wide moulding - 2 nails

2" to 2 1/2" wide moulding - 3 nails

For information on how to purchase additional

V-nails see page 10.

B. Clamp Moulding

• Mark edge of miter to blend any gaps

in corner (Fig. 5) using a stain marker.

Stain markers can be purchased at a

hardware store.

• Glue moulding miter for long lasting

solid corners (Fig. 6).

1. Adjust clamp jaw by pressing spring

button and sliding handle (Fig. 7).

2. Align moulding pieces in vise so top

corner is square (Fig. 8).

3. Do not overtighten. The moulding only

requires enough clamping pressure to

hold it still (Fig. 9).

C. Moulding Spacer

1. Moulding must have support for V-nail to drive

into wood. Use the spacer when moulding is

not even with horizontal plane (Fig. 10).

2. With rubber edges facing up, place spacer

between clamped moulding and base board

(Fig. 11).

D. Adjust Beam Height

1. Turn clamped moulding over and lay on base

board spacer (Fig. 12). If using spacer, position

clamped moulding on spacer where V-nail is to

be pressed in.

2. Line up depth gauge with vise post.

3. Loosen knobs and adjust beam so depth gauge

lightly touches vise post (Fig. 13).

4. Tighten knobs.

5. The depth gauge may be pivoted either to

left or right to gain extra clearance.

4. Load second V-nail.

5. Slide vise locating V-nail 1/2 distance between

first V-nail and outer corner (Fig. 16).

6. Press V-nail flush using lever.

7. Repeat on other corners to complete.

• Join sides of frames first. Then join halves

to finish (Fig. 18).

• Always put longer length in vise on right

hand side and shorter length on left hand

side .

8. The Levelers can be deployed to help stabilize

the moulding and or vise that extends past the

edge of the board to allow proper setting of

beam height (Fig. 19).

• The Studio Joiner can easily join poly-

styrene and Emafil plastic mouldings by

slowly but firmly pressing V-nails in. Note;

these will bend if pressed in too fast.

(not provided) the Beam must be removed.

2. The clamped frame may now be placed over one

of the Post’s (Fig. 20).

3. The Beam can now be replaced.

4. The Beam must have the correct height set by

using the Vise that is currently not being used.

Simply place the Vise upside down on the board

and set height as described earlier in this manual

(Fig. 21).

5. The V-Nails can now be pressed in, in the normal

fashion (Fig. 22).

Trouble Shooting

Problem Solution

V-nail is not driven in all the way. Re-adjust depth setting. Refer to instructions.

Use correct size V-nail.

Joint opens up when driving V-nail in. Use the spacer provided and position under where the V-nail is to be

driven in.

Make sure the moulding is securely clamped in vise, and is square

against the fence back.

Magnetic V-nail holder sticks in the shaft Remove Beam to gain better access to magnetic V-nail holder and

after insertion of V-nail. clean using solvent to remove glue residue.

Use less glue and have damp cloth on hand to clean up any squeeze

out that occurs.

Frame does not assemble correctly. Join sides of frame first, then join halves to finish. Always put longer

length in vise on right hand side and shorter length on left hand side.

Gaps in joints. Sand Miters smooth.

Make sure the two pairs are equal length.

Reduce the amount of glue in joint.

Check square cutting action of saw.

Use longer V-nails if possible.

Clamped moulding does not fit in between posts. Lift Beam off of support rods, and place vise with moulding in

between support rods and then re-set beam height, to continue to

press V-nail’s in.
